I'm looking for some ideas for pants that work as casual pants but have some cycling features. Levi's has a skinny commuter jeans which I was about to try until the wife said I wouldn't like skinny jeans and she's probably right.
How many of you just commute in your regular Dockers, Levi's, Columbia's, etc?
I always commute in walking shorts if it's warm and chinos if it's cooler. If it's actually cold, I put rain pants over the chinos. If it's really, really cold, and I'm not too much of a wuss to be afraid of ice, I wear wool pants. I never wear bicycling shorts; they seem totally unnecessary, and look somewhat awkward once you're off the bike.
